The Linc – “Nick Sirianni isn’t getting enough credit for the coaching job he did” in 2024

Philadelphia Eagles news and links for 3/30/25.

Let’s get to the Philadelphia Eagles links …

The Man – Iggles Blitz
My biggest takeaway is that Nick Sirianni isn’t getting enough credit for the coaching job he did. Saquon Barkley had one of the great seasons in NFL history. Jalen Hurts came up big when the team needed him. Zack Baun became an All-Pro linebacker. Jalen Carter did his impression of a one-man wrecking ball. Player after player had amazing seasons. Those guys deserve a ton of credit. Vic Fangio turned the 30th ranked defense into the NFL’s best. The assisted coaches did a great job with player development. Kellen Moore, known for his love of the passing game, ran one of the best running attacks in NFL history. Jeff Stoutland worked his usual magic. The coaching staff deserves a ton of credit. Howie Roseman and the front office put together the best roster in football. They had one of the best offseasons in league history. They deserve a ton of credit. The movie shows Sirianni speaking to the team before and during the season. Time and time again Sirianni had the right message. He was able to keep the team focused, when they were struggling and later when they were red hot.

NFL Mock Draft 2025: Eagles 7-round simulation, Version 4.0 – BGN
Round 1, Pick 32 (for the Super Bowl Winner): Colston Loveland, Tight End, Michigan. I now strongly believe one of the Eagles first two picks will be a tight end. If they hang around at 32, Colston Loveland makes a ton of sense for the offense. Loveland’s skill as a receiver would immediately make him one of the top three targets in the passing game.

In Roob’s Eagles Observations: An unprecedented achievement for Howie Roseman – NBCSP
1A. When Cam Jurgens was named to his first Pro Bowl team in December, it gave Howie Roseman an remarkable achievement that no other general manager in NFL history – no other team in NFL history – has ever pulled off. He drafted a Pro Bowl player in the second round four straight years. With Miles Sanders in 2019, Jalen Hurts in 2020, Landon Dickerson in 2021 and now Jurgens in 2022, the Eagles became the only team in history to draft a Pro Bowler in the second round four consecutive years. Only one other team in the last 40 years has even drafted a Pro Bowler in the second round three straight years, and that was the Chargers from 2005 through 2007 with Vincent Jackson, Marcus McNeill and Eric Weddle. For the sake of comparison, the Jets have drafted one Pro Bowler in the second round in the last 45 years. The Eagles didn’t have a 2nd-round pick in 2023, but I’m not betting against Cooper DeJean making a Pro Bowl or six before he’s done. That wouldn’t be a Pro Bowl 2nd-rounder in five straight years but it would be five straight 2nd-round picks making a Pro Bowl. And if 2018 2nd-round pick Dallas Goedert could play a full healthy season – either here or somewhere else – that streak could conceivably reach five straight years with a 2nd-round Pro Bowler. Now if J.J. Arcega-Whiteside could ever make a Pro Bowl, we’d really be in business.

Eagles, Chiefs, Bills, Ravens win totals set at 11.5, highest in NFL – PFT
Sports books have started taking bets on NFL teams’ 2025 win totals, and four of the top teams from last year are expected to be at the top of the league again this year. The Eagles, Chiefs, Bills and Ravens’ win totals were set at 11.5, the highest in the NFL for this season.

Influencer Daisy Foko, fiancé of new Eagle Kylen Granson, is already getting food advice from Howie Roseman – Inquirer
Since then, Foko and Granson traveled to Philadelphia for the tight end’s contract signing. After multiple flight delays, they finally made it onto a red-eye flight at 4 a.m. before getting a tour of the facility and meeting the Eagles staff, including Howie Roseman. “I loved everybody, especially Howie,” Foko said in a TikTok post. “He was so funny. He was like, ‘You need to take out your notes app really quickly. I got some restaurants for you,’ and they sound so good. Like I’m a foodie, he’s a foodie. I’m so excited.”

Jerry Jones is reportedly infatuated with one player in the 2025 draft – Blogging The Boys
The Dallas Cowboys are gearing up for the NFL draft in April. This time around, they hold the 12th overall pick in the first round. Players such as Boise State running back Ashton Jeanty, Arizona wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan, and Michigan cornerback Will Johnson have been linked to Dallas, and they all would have an immediate impact. There’s another guy that could have a bigger effect than all of them. Colorado wide receiver/cornerback Travis Hunter is one of the top prospects in the draft, and he’s expected to be a top five pick, meaning out of the Cowboys range. However, while Dianna Russini of The Athletic was on the Scoop City podcast with Chase Daniel, she revealed that Cowboys’ owner Jerry Jones is rather smitten over the superstar talent.

How much has New York Giants QB Russell Wilson declined? – Big Blue View
It was only a week or so ago that Tommy DeVito was the only quarterback on the the New York Giants’ roster. Then in fairly rapid succession, the Giants signed both Jameis Winston and Russell Wilson to contracts. Given Wilson’s more illustrious career, which includes one Super Bowl ring and almost a second, it is assumed by most people that he will be the Giants’ starter in 2025. In reality, we’ll have to wait until training camp to know for sure, since both QBs started part of the season for their previous teams. Winston, at 31, is six years younger than Wilson will be by mid-season. Winston’s problem has always been that his prolific passing game, which includes two 4,000-yard seasons and one 5,000-yard season, has been offset by his proclivity for interceptions. Wilson has never had that issue. The question with Wilson, given his age, is whether he is nearing the end of the line, considering that after spending 10 years with the team that drafted him, he is now on his fourth team in five years. How close is the Wilson the Giants are getting to the one who built a possible (probable?) Hall of Fame case for himself in his first decade in the NFL?

2025 NFL Draft: Will Johnson, Luther Burden III and Malaki Starks among players you shouldn’t overthink – NFL.com
S Malaki Starks: The Georgia product is a football savant with the instincts, awareness and skills to make an impact from Day 1 in the pros. While others might run faster or jump higher, Starks plays the game with rare courage and conviction to trust his instincts in crucial moments. He not only displays the football IQ of a seasoned pro but moves like a cornerback and hits like a linebacker. Possessing ability as a versatile box defender while also boasting center fielder range, the 6-0 7/8, 197-pounder is the combo safety defensive coordinators covet in the back end these days. Given his dynamic skills and natural playmaking ability, Starks can hit the ground running in the NFL as a middle-of-the-field defender for a defense that employs multiple coverages.

The 14 stupidest FCC complaints about the Super Bowl halftime show – SB Nation
Whining to the federal government about the Super Bowl halftime show has become as much of a tradition as the game itself. It’s a chance for boomers to crack their knuckles and wrinkle their confused brains about music they don’t understand, focusing their white-hot anger at bureaucrats to fire off emails about how they don’t like modern music, black people — and oftentimes both. This week the FCC released the 125 complaints about Kendrick Lamar’s Super Bowl halftime show and we read through all of them so you don’t have to, picking out the absolute stupidest ones. If you wrote one of these then you’re bad, and you should feel bad.
